RIP Dame Diana Rigg (The Avengers)

Post by bound_jenny »

A wonderful actress, Dame Diana Rigg, has passed away today at age 82.

She was known as Countess Teresa in the Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, had her appearances in Game of Thrones, but many will remember her as Emma Peel, sidekick of bowler-hatted John Steed on the 1960s TV series, The Avengers. She was definitely my favorite. One of her "missions" got her captured and decked out as "The Queen of Sin":

All that's missing is a whip... :whip:

She might be gone, but she'll be well remembered.

Jenny.

One of our best actresses both stage, screen and TV. :cry:

Also one of my earliest bondage icons.

Indeed a sad loss, she was a great actress.

I remember watching her in the Avengers in my early teens and having a serious crush on her. Although I have to say I also had a thing for Linda Thorson who replaced her as Steed's side kick in later series.

She was one of my favorite with the Avengers. I miss these kinds of series on television.

I think D would have wanted it this way.

I was sad to hear of her death, I grew up on repeats of The Avenges and like many had a crush on her. They say most men prefer blondes but I prefer brunettes thanks to Diana Rigg playing Emma Peel.

The one thing I remember about her playing Emma Peel apart from those damn sexy catsuits which she always happened to be wearing when a fight occurred, was the way that in mid fight she would look at the camera and brush her fringe away from her eyes just before pounding the baddie into submission.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I remember seeing the results of a survey, or maybe it was just an analysis based on reader responses to various issues. It was from Playboy magazine, and based on the responses it showed that more men actually preferred brunettes. Been a very long time now, and I don't remember the exact criteria of the study.

Whoopee! For once in my life I can be considered “normal”. Oh no, wait, normal too boring for me. I've changed my mind I prefer redheads.

RIP dame diana rigg,

Seasons 3 & 4 of the avengers (the rigg years) were
Most influential on forming my kinks during early puberty.

Rewatching this series in later years & understanding
The innuendo in all that „innocent“ banter adds a whole
New dimension to the series.
